Dressing up is a bore. At a certain age, you decorate yourself to attract the opposite sex, and at a certain age, I did that. But I'm past that age.

More quotes by Katharine Hepburn
I don't think that work ever really destroyed anybody. I think that lack of work destroys them a hell of a lot more.
Katharine Hepburn
It is the plain women who know about love the beautiful women are too busy being fascinating.
Katharine Hepburn
Life is very hard, isn't it? It does kill you, after all.
Katharine Hepburn
The only time I am ever miserable is when I do something just for the money.
Katharine Hepburn
You never feel that you have fame. It's always in back of you.
Katharine Hepburn
If it interests you, they don't have to pay you. It's a fascinating business anyway-it's very nice to be paid-but when you do thrilling material, it's like buying a piece of furniture that's really good.
Katharine Hepburn
The thing about life is that you must survive. Life is going to be difficult, and dreadful things will happen. What you do is move along, get on with it, and be tough. Not in the sense of being mean to others, but being tough with yourself and making a deadly effort not to be defeated.
Katharine Hepburn
It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.
Katharine Hepburn
My, I like Judy Holliday! She looks like a Monet model. And she's so - so defenseless. I like defenseless people. They're the best.
Katharine Hepburn
Plain women know more about men than beautiful women do.
Katharine Hepburn
Friendship, if somebody holds out his hand toward you, you've got to reach and take it... There are too many people alone, and if you're lucky enough for somebody to want you as a friend, it's an obligation.
Katharine Hepburn
Without discipline, there's no life at all.
Katharine Hepburn
It is the ordinary woman who knows something about love the gorgeous ones are too busy being gorgeous.
Katharine Hepburn
If you have fame, you never feel that you have fame, if you have the brains of a flea. Because fame is something that's over back of you. It ain't ahead.... Not ahead at all. I mean, if you've done it that's great, but what are you going to do now? is the only thing that matters.
Katharine Hepburn
What acting means is that you've got to get out of your own skin.
Katharine Hepburn
I don't give a damn about marriage. But I do care about honor.
Katharine Hepburn
Who is Katharine Hepburn? It took me a long time to create that creature.
Katharine Hepburn
I think all good actors are personalities. If they're not, they're not stars. What makes you a star is horsepower.
Katharine Hepburn
Nobody owes anybody anything it's up to each individual to set high standards for himself or herself, and to set about working hard and creating a solid future.
Katharine Hepburn
Two of an actress's greatest assets are love and pain. A great actress, even a good actress, must have plenty of both in her life.
Katharine Hepburn
